I've got a suggestion for added funcionality... is it possible to have the lights blink for notifications and to be always on when the battery has reached 100%?

If we've got both 100% battery and notifications maybe it can be solved with a different kind of blinking... slower maybe?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sicopat:
You should ask directly to the author of BLN Control : neldar

Tegrak will perhaps update his kernel to implement BLN, then you will be able to use Tegrak

calendar notification

Thanks for BLN. It works for missed calls and SMS (Go SMS), but ho do I make it work also for calendar notification?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
I moved back to KG5 so I didn't have BLN on SMS (Samsung) so I tried Light Flow Lite from the market and so far it's working well. It even has Calendar notifications.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] capo56:
That is not solution for me, I need to make it working with BLN ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
It IS working with BLN. That's why I used it! It makes BLN work with Gmail, Calendar, Samsung SMS, missed calls, and other apps.

The only issue I've had is that sometimes when it clears the lights, they stay off and you have to toggle them in setup/display. That's only happened a couple of times and I'm not sure where the issue is but it's worth it to have BLN working.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] capo56:
What do you mean by Samsung SMS? Stock SMS application? Have you configured it somehow to make it work with calendar, or it just work automatically for you?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
The SMS program that comes with the G2. It's not the standard SMS program that is standard in the android operating system.

I just turned on the calendar notification option in the app. It has a big list of notifications you can turn on and off.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] capo56:
Sorry, I have no idea what are you talking about. BLN doesnot work with stock SMS application, so it doesnot work with SMS application that comes with S2. Read the first post here. It looks like you are talking about other things :confused:

If I go to "BLN Control - Pro" app to advanced settings to "BLN for Android-OS apps", there is just "call notification" checker.

Can you make screenshot of what you see there, or where is that "big list of notification that you see"?

Thanks

Hello, thanks for this, but for newbies, how do I know which zip file i need?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
There are ways to make BLN work with the stock SMS app. You need a kernel that supports BLN. I use Ninphetamine 2.05. Then you need a BLN app. I use BLN Pro. That will give you some BLN (missed call, gmail, etc) but to get the stock sms BLN working you need something else. For KG6 someone has modded the the stock app and it works well. I don't remember who did it but the file name is ONE.PT.XXKG6.Services.Patch.BLN.zip. I could not find this mod for KG5 but I was able to get the app Light Flow Lite from the market to work. I thought it replaced BLN Pro completely but found out tonight that you have to have BLN and Light Flow to get it to work correctly

There are several threads on BLN and if you search you will find them. It's not for the faint of heart.

For KG5 odexed, see in the Sicopat's rom thread post2 for the mod to have bln on stock SMS app

@ Clownage : the CWM script is configured to verify you have a gs2 GT-I9100.

What is your version of GS2 ? BELL version ?

Did you use a fix to enable hidden market apps or to modify the product name of your phone ?

Currently I use the ONE.PT.XXKG6.Services.Patch.BLN.zip in my SG2 :-)

Sicopat,

I tried the KG5 SMS program mentioned above and it did not work. I also pulled the green overscroll mod from the same page and although the battery mod made it, the overscroll did not.

I flashed it in recovery, know that BLN is working because it works on missed calls and Gmail, and the app itself seems to be working correctly. Any idea on what I might have done wrong? Anything that needs to be enabled? I looked around but couldn't get it to work.

Thanks for the great power menu mod by the way.

anybody else have this working with k9?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nsgsrl:
Hi,

I strongly confirm, on my device with both BLN and Light Flow Lite installed and activated, most of the original Samsung application with notification option are working fine. take care about schedule mode in BLN which may interfere with Light Flow, as well any limit fix for battery level.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sicopat:
In fact when you enable BLN in BLN Control, BLN will work with every apps (witch support BLN) exept missing call notifications.

BLN Control pro give you the ability to enable even missing calls notifications ...

Just enable BLN in BLN Control and you will have BLN for all compatible apps (exept missing call -> pro version)

Just to clear things up. If i want it to work on my GT9100M (Bell), i would have to have 2 files in /system/lib/hw, the first one lights.GT-I9100M.so and the other one lights.GT-I9100M.soBAK. I would also have to delete the /tmp folder and then re-zip it
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sicopat:
simpliest way :

1/ using root explorer (pay app)

on your GS2

: go to /system/lib/hw at the top of screen tap Mount RW to enable files modification. Then long press on GT-I9100M.so and > rename > lights.GT-I9100M.soBAK

2/

in my zip CWM

: unzip it - delete tmp folder - in /system/lib/hw/ rename lights.GT-I9100.so in lights.GT-I9100M.so - go to the root folder (you should see 3 folders : data META_INF and system - select all -right click and add to archive - select zip format and none compression and you have your new CWM zip update.

step 1/ to have a copy of original file

BLN not installing?

Running into a problem with BLN. i renamed the file to update.zip but when i run it in CWM recovery i get E: signature verification failed error. any suggestions?

im running kg2 firmware and i'm rooted, flashed CF-Root's kg2 kernel i dont know what im doing wrong
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
Don't rename it. Copy it unchanged to the internal SC card of the phone, then boot into recovery and choose install zip from SD then choose it to install.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bmmaximus:
yea i should have specified. i tried it without renaming but it still wouldnt work. i found a different forum saying it should be renamed to update.zip so thats why i tried renaming. i also tried moving to the root sdcard folder but that didn't work either
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
What exactly are you trying to install? Are you sure it's flashable with CWM?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bmmaximus:
im trying to install BLN, i followed what the first post said to do and im getting this error
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
BLN has many parts. First you need a kernel that supports it. Then you need a BLN app from the market. Then you need apps that support it.

I'm using Ninphetamine's kernel, BLN pro from the market and a stock SMS that has been modded to provide BLN.

Where are you in this process?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bmmaximus:
I don't really know because I'm new to this. I am rooted with CF-Root's insecure kernel, running stock firmware kg2, i assumed only cwm was needed for the bln to work, where do i get the kernel you're running? also is it compatible with the current firmware im running, kg2?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tonymy01:
If you are getting signature verification warnings, chances are you are not running the clockwork mod recovery. I have also seen that error when trying to use rom manager or an app to flash a zip. You must boot the phone to the cwm recovery to flash these kind of zips. If you installed cfroot, but them flashed a stock kernel, you will lose cwm.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bmmaximus:
that's the thing, i have cwm . i run the cwm recovery from the app by clicking "reboot into CWM recovery" thats where i am running the update.zip from. now my problem is that i don't have the proper kernel which i am in the process of getting. couple of questions about that though:

(ninphetamine 2.0.5)

running kg2 can i just flash this kernel with odin or are there specific files needed / specific steps needed outside of the normal steps for flashing new firmware?

also, will this wipe my phone? my phone didn't wipe when i rooted it and had to flash using chainfire's kernel but that kernel was KG2 as well (same as my stock kernel)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
If you look through the SGS2 development threads you'll find Ninphetamine's kernel. Unfortunately BLN is not for the faint of heart and Samsung doesn't help at all with any support for it in any of it's apps. There is a better thread called Everything BLN. which has a better description of how it works and is installed. You'll get a much better education there. It's a wonderful feature but is not so easy to get it working. If you not in love with KG2, you might look at Sicopat's new KH3 (latest official) ROM where he makes it a point to keep the ROM as close to stock as possible and provides downloads of popular fixes and things that the SGS2 is missing. He uses Ninphetamine's kernel and has a SMS app modded to do BLN to download.

So look up the Everything BLN thread to get an education on BLN then think about using a Rom that has it built in. It's a lot easier.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bmmaximus:

hi!

I've discovered a "bug" but I dont now if its of BLN or Apkmanager:

If you decompile framework-res.apk

change some colors in /values/colors.xml

and use it...bln will stop work!

Also happens on other themes not only to mt attempt!

Is there any way to get rid of it?

I simply changed 2 values in this xml and BLN stops working..

As I said XML modded are in /res/values folder, wich is (when compiled) the resource.asrc in framework-res.apk!

Other folders in res I have completerly themed/changed them and BLN is ok..

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gspears:
I'm not sure if you can use a 2.3.4 kernel on a 2.3.3 ROM. My advise would be to upgrade to KH3 all the way around. That way you could have your cake and eat it to!

KH3 has been great for most people. If you look up SicOpat's KH3 ROM it has the basic ROM with Ninphetamine's kernel in the first post, and then the next post he has all the optional things you can add. These include a lot of fixes to Samsung bugs, android bugs, etc. It's a good way to get you phone up to the latest and greatest and then choose what addons you need.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lobo1976:
Out of curiosity, how is this mod different from NoLED app from android market?

p.s sorry, didn't really read thru all the page, only the first and last few pgs.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poofish:
lol if you actually read the first post you'd have seen: 'BLN (Back Light Notification) will get the "menu" & "back" buttons to light up when you have a new text or email or missed call, so no more unlocking the screen to discover a notification from hours beforehand...'
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lobo1976:
oic, so instead of have the screen 'saying' something, just the menu/back button light up. Well, it just seems a lot of work to get the same result (of NOT discovering messages hours beforehand), when the same app does it. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sicopat:
To have the screen saying something, you must push power button to see your lockscreen.

With BLN, even if your screen is off, the button lights is ON, so without powering on your lockscreen,you know if you have unread messages, mails or missing calls ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sicopat:
To have BLN :

1/ a compatible kernel

2/ the modded lights.GT-I9100.so

3/ BLN control free or pro

That's all :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I suppose the lights.GT-I9100.so file doesn't get affected by updates in firmware, is it? I mean that it's not a file that is going to need re-modding once a new version is released. It's safe to just apply it over the stock ones and it works ok? (assuming i have a compatible kernel and bln)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tonymy01:
You missed his point, he was talking about noled, an app that will display a subtle led indicator on the phone screen (even when in standby). While the theory on noled is sound,i.e. an amoled screen uses very little power when nearly all black, in practise, it uses more power than completely being switched off, and certainly more than the great bln implementation done at the kernel level. Also when the screen is on, it,I believe, prevents the phone sleeping, which is a huge hit to the battery...

Hence why bln was developed!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bluehell:
Wonderfully working! +1!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lobo1976:
well, it proved my suspicion that some pple didn't know the app (noled) exists... ;)

With regards to the power saving ... I suppose every little bit helps. Emphasis on (what I think) 'little'.

One quick question though, when I turn my phone on now, it has a yello warnign triangle. Is there anyway I can remove this?

on stock kernel, flash CF-root kernel then flash BNL update in CWM recovery mode

then use USG Jig to delete yellow triangle

Use Back_Light_Notification_GS2_v2.zip (5.33 MB) with ninphetamine kernel 2.0.5 (if not on canadian Bell)
